		When a high ranking general visits the hotel, Rusesabagina makes sure his suitcase is filled with his favorite single malt scotch by the time he leaves.
		Hotel Rwanda does what all good movies do: they shine an unavoidable light onto the darkest corners of human behavior.

	BBC - Movies - review - Hotel Rwanda
		Hotel Rwanda, the first mainstream film to approach the subject, tells the story of hotel manager Paul Rusesabagina, (Don Cheadle) who sheltered more than 1,200 people during the chaos.
		The downside is that Hotel Rwanda feels uncomfortably fictional, from the symbolic thunderstorms that precede the violence to the neatly climactic and mawkish ending.
		Hotel Rwanda is released in UK cinemas on Friday 25th February in the West End, 4th March nationwide.

	"Hotel Rwanda" (2005) / a review and/or comments from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		As I sat through Terry George’s haunting new film “Hotel Rwanda”, I could not help but be appalled by the lack of interest displayed by the rest of the world during the horrid plight of the citizens of Rwanda.
		Paul is forced to leave the hotel to pick up supplies, and it is only after he sees the corpses that litter the roads that he realizes the enormity of the situation.
		“Hotel Rwanda” is quite simply (in my opinion) the best movie you could see this year and is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time.

	Hotel Rwanda film review
		Hotel Rwanda is the moving true story of one man's heroic efforts to save his family during the 1994 civil conflict that saw Hutu extremists systematically try and wipe out their Tutsi neighbours.
		The hotel was an oasis of luxury amidst a city of poverty and Hutu Paul's prominent position enabled him to befriend the wealthy and influential hotel guests.
		Their only protection is the nominal and toothless presence of UN forces led by Colonel Oliver (Nick Nolte), but when the word comes down that the West are effectively pulling out, it is left to Paul to protect the hundreds of people his de facto position of manager has left him in charge of.

	TheMovieBoy Review - Hotel Rwanda (2004)
		"Hotel Rwanda," which invites comparisons to Steven Spielberg's harrowing 1993 Holocaust drama, "Schindler's List," tells of a tragic, senseless part of recent African history—the attempted 1994 genocide during the civil war in Rwanda—that most viewers will be only vaguely familiar with.
		"Hotel Rwanda" is an important motion picture in its unearthing of such a terrible moment within Africa's past, and there is a determined passion in the way director Terry George grittily chronicles it.
		Where "Hotel Rwanda" is not as successful is in giving a clear voice to the Tutsis who turn to Paul and his hotel as refuge.

		Rwanda gained independence from Belgium in 1962, with Hutus (84% of the populace) and Tutsis (15%) living amid intermittent outbreaks of violence resulting in both the loss of lives, and the displacement of thousands.
		Rwanda has long been rife with corruption, and over many years as hotel manager Paul had curried favor with local businessmen and army officers.
		Hotel Rwanda is a finely crafted film, using 15,000 African extras to recreate the crowded streets and back alleys where so many perished.

	Hotel Rwanda
		Rwanda was a horrible place for all involved during the year of 1994 between the months of April and July.
		The story is based on actual events that took place in Rwanda, but most specifically, things that happened to Paul Rusesabagina, a Hutu hotel manager who was put into the middle of the fighting due to his wife being Tutsi.
		I think Hotel Rwanda should be shown in schools, alongside such movies as Anne Frank, as a show that the United States wasn’t perfect even in 1994 and that the Holocaust wasn’t the only time in history that there was a genocide.

		In 1994 in Rwanda, a million members of the Tutsi tribe were killed by members of the Hutu tribe in a massacre that took place while the world looked away.
		When "Hotel Rwanda" premiered at Toronto 2004, some reviews criticized the film for focusing on Paul and the colonel, and making little effort to "depict" the genocide as a whole.
		His hotel is hardly functioning, the economy has broken down, the country is ruled by anarchy, but he puts on his suit and tie every morning and fakes business as usual -- even on a day he is so frightened, he cannot tie his tie.

	OFFOFFOFF film review HOTEL RWANDA movie by Terry George with Don Cheadle, Sophie Okonedo, Nick Nolte, Joaquin Phoenix, ...
		The first artistic choice by the makers of "Hotel Rwanda" was the shrewdest, if not the bravest: selecting a story that is immersed in the horror of the event, yet also is a tension-filled tale of heroic triumph.
		"Hotel Rwanda" has a political perspective, even to the point of didacticism, but the perspective is so well integrated into the narrative that it serves only as the flesh of context, rather than an awkward graft.
		"Hotel Rwanda" is undeniably shot from the perspective of a shocked Western conscience, and most white characters are gratuitously accorded more depth and significance than all but Cheadle's.

		A middle-class Hutu—one of Rwanda's two main ethnic groups—he is the devoted husband of Tatiana (Sophie Okonedo), who's Tutsi (the film does a succinct job of explaining the differences between the groups).
		Hotel Rwanda should be required viewing for everyone in the West, mandatory in social studies and world history classes.
		Dallaire, the inspiration for Nick Nolte's character, was the Canadian commanding officer of the UN peacekeeping mission in Rwanda, the one who singlehandedly tried to stop the genocide despite the indifference of his superiors.

		Hotel Rwanda (* * * * out of four) is one of the year's most moving and powerful films, anchored by a magnificent performance by Don Cheadle.
		But the focus here is an ordinary man, a hardworking hotel employee named Paul Rusesabagina (Cheadle), an apolitical man who summoned the courage to shelter more than 1,000 people as the slaughter raged around them.
		But as the bloodshed spreads (and the white manager of the hotel flees, leaving him in charge), he opens the doors of the hotel to the poor and the orphaned.

		The challenge of Hotel Rwanda lies more with the audience than it does with the film, in that we are forced to become (or resist becoming) the therapeutic listener who is trying to listen to Paul’s departure.
		Hotel Rwanda shows that a large part of our struggle to come to terms with recent mass violence lies in the ways we currently attempt to answer this ancient question.

	Hotel Rwanda (2004): Don Cheadle, Sophie Okonedo, Nick Nolte, Joaquin Phoenix - PopMatters Film Review
		Hotel Rwanda tells Rusesabagina's story, his efforts during 1994's Rwandan genocide to save 1268 people (the Hutus ended up killing some 800,000 Tutsis in 100 days, many by machete or bludgeoning).
		Manager of the Mille Collines, a Belgian-owned luxury hotel, he prides himself on his crisp white shirts and shined shoes, shuttling between the swank and seedy sides of Kigali, Rwanda.
		This strategy is often effective, as when Paul and hotel employee Gregoire (Tony Kgoroge) drive one foggy night over a road filled with corpses, their tires crunching bones and squashing flesh before they even realize what they've done.

	Reviews: Hotel Rwanda - Christianity Today Movies
		Only hotel guests visiting from other parts of the world are allowed to escape the country, and Rusesabagina is forced to use his cunning and limited resources to turn his hotel into a "four-star" refugee camp.
		Hotel Rwanda is rated PG-13 "for violence, disturbing images and brief strong language." Some violent content is required to depict the horrible consequences of this civil war, but the film does a good job of dramatizing these events without any particularly graphic sequences.
		Hotel Rwanda is a film that should be watched in Christian faithfulness, and should stir us to show greater kindness and compassion to the least of our brothers and sisters.

		While in Rwanda they were able to travel, film the various locations and meet many of the people who took refuge at the Milles Collines hotel, including Odette Nyrimilimo, her husband Jean Baptiste Gacacere, and various members of Paul’s family.
		Hotel Rwanda is, for the most part, a deeply personal story, and it’s uniquely focused on one building (the hotel), the people within it, and the relationships between them.

		As more refugees arrive at the hotel (many of them kids), they're forcibly removed from their non-local rescuers who are then put on vehicles to be abandoned (the sight of that might be disturbing to some viewers).
		Col. Oliver fires some warning shots, a man is shot in the chest and presumably killed, more machine gun fire goes off, a militant slices a person with a machete and one then holds a machete to Tatiana's throat, angrily demanding her name.
		Paul returns to the hotel to find that militants have emptied the place and are threatening the refugees and others.
